Wooties Poll

Posted by ryan

Ok, so i have a rant of a blog that i need some external info on before i really want to blog about it. If you're one of the 3.5 wooties readers please go to the Wootious polls forum, Vote, and leave a comment or two on why you voted.

Feel free to flame if you want, but be honest!! (no registration is supposed to be required, just like the blog comments, but for some reason it's asking for you to sign up. i'll get around to fixing that when i get some time)

Other news, work's busy as always. i'm back in SA working on the parallel run phase of the current project i'm involved with. Lots of work, but it's good. i'm here with a co-worker Kent, it's a lot of fun so far mixed with all the work. (It's 'cause of Kent that the first Wootious Poll was created)

This is Kent and i enjoying an exilerating conference call.

ryan = double slacker

Posted by ryan

Well, i've definitely been slacking in the blog department something fierce lately! work, work, work, and more work. (working right now actually)

I'm off to South Africa again tomorrow. Maybe i'll find something more to blog about.

In the meantime, checkout my Feed Roller to see some linkage from some of my favorite sites.

wow, 8 days go by and not one wooties post. sheesh iSuck.

Work's been crazy busy, and it took me a while to recover from all those 16-18+ hour days i had in March. Anyway, lots to rant about in the news latley.. i may get around to it sometime.

Check out this article, it's a good one. While hundreds of thousands of Latin's are PEACEFULLY protesting the immigration bill so that they CAN work, you see the French protesting so they have to work LESS!

silly French.

(thanks for bringing the article to my attn Jared!)

Karma Hates Me

Posted by ryan

What a long trip home. .. So i was supposed to fly ou from
johannasburg around 7:30 SA time, i had to change my ticket since i ended up
staying a week longer. i got to the Airport with around 4:30 to give me enough
time. it was pretty busy, i changed my ticket and hoped in queue (a reallly
long queue). After hours of waiting patiently i get to the ticket desk to check
in my luggage and get to the gate, 10 munutes before the plane is suppost to
take off.. The nice lady at the counter then informed me that they had oversold
the flight and that i would have to wait until saterday to fly home. *DANG! i was thinking to myself, if i would
have just been a few minutes earlier!
* heh, but i don’t think it would have
done me any good. Turns out it was oversold by 15-20 seats! Crazy eh? So, i get
back in queue to get a hotel voucher and re-book a ticket for saterday. i’m sitting
in Atlanta right
now very very tired. That flight across the pond is torture. And to make it
worse, i had a seat that the TV was broken in it. So 19 straight hours with
nothing but a book and my music. i’ll be home late afternoon. i really wish i
would have gotten home yesterday but i have horrid luck, and i’m getting pretty
used to it, so i don’t get upset when things like this happen, i have enough
stress from work, $ and life to give myself any more if i don’t have to.

Anyway, even though i’m not really home yet, and i lost what
little of a weekend i was looking forward to having a break, it’s still good to
be home. … i think.

(i think wooties was down
again for the whole weekend. .. hrm, maybe i should have put it on a more
stable PC eh? Oh well.)
